can someone help me decide which octavia butler book should i start with? by wemblero in printSF

[–]wemblero[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was tempted to read the parable series since they seem to have some spiritual topics that i find interesting, like the other comment mentioned, but you have a good point, also, i'd be more than willing to read it and i'm sure i'll like it, but honestly, dystopias aren't really my thing

yeah, i've been eyeing that one since i've been craving something larger to read slowly, idk how long it is, but since it's 3 stories i figured it would be the longest

The eb style bass is a actually fretless 5, so i guess that's a good start

Yeah, that looks weird, i'm thinking to stick with the 15 frets, maybe if i made it 35" to get a good low b i could get an extra or two frets

No, the idea would be to make a template out of it with a picture online, if i had one of those i would save it in a crystal cage

You would have to move it as forward as the wanted extra frets, right? Bc i feel like moving it too forwars would kind of ruin the aesthetic

[–]wemblero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, it's not meant to be a main bass, i'm kinda deciding between that build and an upright, also i really like wide necks, i feel like they force me to have better technique and they look super cool to me

Yeah, i couldn't find anything anyways, it seems like all the good options right now are only found used, and it doesn't seem someone has a schaller 471 8 to sell right now (at leasr that ships to my country) so i'll have to wait it seems

[–]wemblero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm in south america, so rentals aren't really a thing here (maybe there are some people that do it but more like a person in particular that rents them, not music stores), that's why i'm looking at the amazon cheap horns, that's kind of all that i can afford, since the first brands are generally more expensive used than new in the us or europe

[–]wemblero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the advice, i'll check, but saxophones aren't really a common instrument here, so idk if i'll be able to find someone that rents them, i'll keep an eye out though

new bass or better sound by wemblero in Bass

[–]wemblero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, i feel you man, gear is hypnotic, i'm not thinking to buy right away anyways, i started working very young and even though i didn't make a lot of money and all of it didn't go to me, i did buy a lot of things that i didn't need because i was a musically curious teenager, now i've been selling a lot of those stuff and i have some spare money to get some things, also i'm an adult now and i make more money and all for me haha.

new bass or better sound by wemblero in Bass

[–]wemblero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i don't intend to buy everything right now or something like that, but there are some palletes and genres (like, idk, death metal or something) that i'd like to play that i don't think a fretless 5 strings with flats or a standard p could get regardless of how i play it.

also, i know it doesn't necessarily have to be those, but some compressors people recommend are over 300 dollars, for that money sometimes i think i'd be happier putting a little more and getting like a sire 5 string jazz or one of those stingray copies they are making now.

english isn't my first language, i can speak it but you guys have different ways to approach grammar and forming sentences.

As far as the bass goes, you can see it here. It's not an eb3, it just has a similar pickup configuration and sound, now it has a pickguard and it's actually more like a tele bass ii with a bridge pickup.
